[Screen Display Example of Image Processing Apparatus]

In the exemplary embodiment, final printing and scanning are performedby the image processing apparatus 100, but a prior operation for theprinting and scanning is performed by a mobile information terminal suchas a smartphone.

Thus, before a screen display example of the image processing apparatus100 is described, a prior operation performed in the mobile informationterminal will be described. An application software (hereinafterreferred to as an “application”) for utilizing the image processingapparatus 100 is installed in the mobile information terminal, and auser performs the prior operation using the application. It is to benoted that the application used in the exemplary embodiment is only forutilizing the image processing apparatus 100, thus any “application”mentioned in the present description indicates the application forutilizing the image processing apparatus 100.

First, the operation for the first time in the mobile informationterminal will be described. When subscribing a service for utilizing theimage processing apparatus 100, a user starts up the application by themobile information terminal, and registers authentication informationand other various information for performing authentication in themobile information terminal.

The various information (hereinafter referred to as “registrationinformation”) registered in the mobile information terminal includes apayment method, a print setting, and a storage destination.

In the exemplary embodiment, the image processing apparatus 100 isdesigned to be installed and utilized in a public space, and thus apayment method has to be registered. Specifically, the payment methodindicates how payment is made for printing and scanning, and includes,for instance, payment by a credit card, and payment by an electronicmoney IC card.

Also, the print setting indicates a desired print style when printing ismade. In addition to normal print setting such as monochrome printing orcolor printing, and single-sided printing or double-sided printing, theprint setting also includes a special output style such as stapling, andputting a printed material in an envelope or a vinyl bag.

Also, the storage destination indicates where scan data obtained byscanning a document is stored. The storage destination includes anexpense settlement cloud system, a document management cloud system, anda business card management cloud system. These storage destinations maybe each registered as the location where scan data of a document isstored according to the type of the document. Registration may be madesuch that for instance, when the type of a document is receipt, the scandata is stored in the expense settlement cloud system, when the type ofa document is A4 paper, the scan data is stored in the documentmanagement cloud system, and when the type of a document is businesscard, the scan data is stored in the business card cloud system.

Next, the operation for the second time and after in the mobileinformation terminal will be described. For instance, when printing afile stored in a cloud system, a user starts up the application by themobile information terminal, obtains a list of files from the cloudsystem, and the list is displayed on the display of the mobileinformation terminal. In this state, a user reserves printing bydesignating a file which is desired to be printed. Hereinafter, a filefor which printing is reserved is called a “print reservation file”.Also, a user registers various information in the print reservationfile. For instance, a user sets an output format, and a payment methodto the print reservation file. Alternatively, a user may leave theoutput format and the payment method unset.

Subsequently, for actually printing the file, a user has to go to aninstallation location of the image processing apparatus 100 in a publicspace. The application of the mobile information terminal also providesrelevant information for this case. For instance, when a user designatesa print reservation file and presses down a search button of the mobileinformation terminal, the application displays a map of the surroundingarea of the user on the display of the mobile information terminal, anddisplays the installation location of an image processing apparatus 100that can print the print reservation file in consideration of an outputformat set for the designated print reservation file. Thus, it ispossible for the user to go to the installation location of the imageprocessing apparatus 100 and to print the print reservation file whichis desired to be printed.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the imager 60 has detectedanything placed on the operation stand 20, the imaging controller 75determines whether or not the imager 60 has detected the document 95placed on the operation stand 20 (step S705). As a result, when it isdetermined that the imager 60 has detected the document 95 placed on theoperation stand 20, the control device 70 performs two-dimensional scanprocessing (step S706).

Also, when it is determined that the imager 60 has not detected thedocument 95 placed on the operation stand 20, the imaging controller 75determines whether or not the imager 60 has detected the mobileinformation terminal 90 placed on the operation stand 20 (step S707). Asa result, when it is determined that the imager 60 has detected themobile information terminal 90 placed on the operation stand 20, thecontrol device 70 performs print processing (step S708). At this point,in the control device 70, it is assumed that the communicationcontroller 76 obtains authentication information registered in themobile information terminal 90 before the print processing is performed,makes authentication and Wi-Fi connection setting based on theauthentication information, and receives registration information fromthe mobile information terminal 90 via Wi-F. On the other hand, when itis determined that the imager 60 has not detected the mobile informationterminal 90 placed on the operation stand 20, the control device 70performs three-dimensional scan processing (step S709).

FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating an operation example of the controldevice 70 when the print processing in step S708 of FIG. 15 isperformed.

As illustrated, the control device 70 first displays the logincompletion screen 102 on the guide display 10 and the operation stand 20(step S721). Specifically, the display controller 71 displays part ofthe login completion screen 102 on the guide display 10, and theprojection controller 72 displays the remaining part of the logincompletion screen 102 on the operation stand 20 using the projector 30.

Next, the projection controller 72 performs print instruction screendisplay processing to display a print instruction screen 103 on theoperation stand 20 using the projector 30, the print instruction screen103 for giving an instruction to print a print reservation file (stepS722).

Subsequently, the payment processor 77 performs payment processing by apayment method registered for the print reservation file in theregistration information or a payment method selected then (step S723).The communication controller 76 then determines whether or notnotification that the print button has been pressed down in the mobileinformation terminal 90 has been received via Wi-Fi (step S724). When itis determined that notification that the print button has been presseddown in the mobile information terminal 90 has not been received viaWi-Fi, the communication controller 76 repeats step S724, whereas whenit is determined that notification that the print button has beenpressed down in the mobile information terminal 90 has been received viaWi-Fi, the print controller 74 performs control so that printing is madeby the printer 50 (step S725).

Subsequently, when printing by the printer 50 is completed, theprojection controller 72 displays the logout guide screen 106 on theoperation stand 20 using the projector 30 (step S726).

FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating an operation example of the controldevice 70 when the two-dimensional scan processing in step S706 of FIG.15 is performed.

As illustrated, the control device 70 first displays a document typerecognition result on the operation stand 20 (step S741). Specifically,the imaging controller 75 obtains the image of the document 95 capturedby the imager 60, the document type recognizes 78 recognizes the type ofthe document 95, for instance, by pattern matching, and the projectioncontroller 72 displays a result of the recognition on the operationstand 20 using the projector 30.

Next, the imaging controller 75 determines whether or not the imager 60has detected change in the position of the document 95 (step S742). Whenit is determined that the imager 60 has detected change in the positionof the document 95, the control device 70 performs step S741 again. Whenit is determined that the imager 60 has not detected change in theposition of the document 95, the imaging controller 75 determineswhether or not a predetermined time has elapsed (step S743). When it isdetermined that a predetermined time has not elapsed, the imagingcontroller 75 performs step S742 again.

On the other hand, when it is determined that a predetermined time haselapsed, the imaging controller 75 scans the document 95 placed on theoperation stand 20 using the imager 60 (step S744). Thus, the projectioncontroller 72 performs scan image display processing to display thescanned image 92 on the operation stand 20 using the projector 30 (stepS745).

Next, the imaging controller 75 determines whether or not the imager 60has detected the mobile information terminal 90 placed on the operationstand 20 (step S746). When it is determined that the imager 60 has notdetected the mobile information terminal 90 placed on the operationstand 20, the imaging controller 75 repeats step S746, whereas when itis determined that the imager 60 has detected the mobile informationterminal 90 placed on the operation stand 20, the projection controller72 displays a storage instruction screen on the operation stand 20 usingthe projector 30, the storage instruction screen for giving aninstruction to store scan data (step S747). At this point, it is assumedthat the communication controller 76 obtains authentication informationregistered in the mobile information terminal 90, makes authenticationand Wi-Fi connection setting based on the authentication information,and receives registration information from the mobile informationterminal 90 via Wi-Fi.

Subsequently, the payment processor 77 performs payment processing by apayment method registered for the type of the document 95 in theregistration information or a payment method selected then (step S748).The communication controller 76 then determines whether or notnotification that the storage button has been pressed down in the mobileinformation terminal 90 has been received via Wi-Fi (step S749). When itis determined that notification that the storage button has been presseddown in the mobile information terminal 90 has not been received viaWi-Fi, the communication controller 76 repeats step S749, whereas whenit is determined that notification that the storage button has beenpressed down in the mobile information terminal 90 has been received viaWi-Fi, the projection controller 72 performs storage instruction screenerasure processing to erase the storage instruction screen 154 (stepS750). The communication controller 76 then transmits the scan data ofthe document 95 to a storage destination registered for the type of thedocument 95 via the communication I/F 5, and stores the scan data (stepS751).

First, as illustratedin FIG. 18-2, a list including the names of print reservation files isdisplayed by a user on the display of the mobile information terminal90. Here, an icon is displayed only for each print reservation file, andthus any file other than the print reservation files is distinguishedfrom the print reservation files. The mobile information terminal 90 isthen placed on the operation table 20 by a user. Then, as illustrated inFIG. 18-1, the mobile information terminal 90 displays a print button onthe display. The image processing apparatus 100 then displays on theoperation stand 20 an animation in which the file images 911 to 913indicating print reservation files jump out from the mobile informationterminal 90 as illustrated in FIG. 18-1. Here, the print reservationfile is an example of first data, the name of the print reservation fileis an example of first information that identifies the first data, andthe file image is an example of first image associated with firstinformation. Also, an animation in which the file images 911 to 913 jumpout from the mobile information terminal 90 is an example of a firstoperation in which a first image is moved from the mobile informationterminal to the display surface, and is displayed on the displaysurface.

Subsequently, when the print instruction screen 103 of FIG. 6 isdisplayed on the operation stand 20, the image processing apparatus 100stops the animation. At this point, the image processing apparatus 100has received a print reservation file from a cloud system that storesprint reservation files. Specifically, in the exemplary embodiment, thesituation that a print reservation file has become a target to beprinted is displayed by an operation in which a file image is moved fromthe mobile information terminal 90 to the operation stand 20.

It is assumed above that the file images 911 to 913 are graduallyenlarged when jumping out from the mobile information terminal 90.Although a description is given below also under the assumption that thefile images 911 to 913 are gradually enlarged, the file images 911 to913 do not have to be gradually enlarged. For instance, the file images911 to 913 may be enlarged to the size of FIG. 6 at the position wherethe mobile information terminal 90 has been placed, and may be movedwith the size maintained. Although a description is given below underthe assumption that also for enlargement of a file image, an operationincluding the process of enlargement is displayed, the operation may notinclude the process of enlargement of a file image.

Inthis case, a combined image of the file images 911 to 913 is an exampleof the first image, and the file images 911 to 913 is an example ofmultiple partial images.

In addition, the image processing apparatus 100 is designed to receive aprint reservation file from an external cloud system. In this case, thecloud system is an example of another device different from the imageprocessing apparatus 100 and the mobile information terminal. However,the image processing apparatus 100 may be designed to receive a printreservation file from the mobile information terminal 90.

[Operation Example at Time of Print Instruction Screen DisplayProcessing of Control Device]

FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating an operation example of the controldevice 70 when the print instruction screen display processing in stepS722 of FIG. 16 is performed. It is to be noted that the animation inwhich the file images 911 to 913 jump out from the mobile informationterminal 90 may be any type of animation, and here, as an example, eachof the file images 911 to 913 linearly moves from the center position ofthe mobile information terminal 90 to the display position of FIG. 6.The movement distance and the size of each of the file images 911 to 913are proportional to the elapsed time since the mobile informationterminal 90 is placed on the operation stand 20, and the state of FIG. 6is achieved when one second has elapsed since the mobile informationterminal 90 is placed on the operation stand 20. Hereinafter, in thecoordinate system on the operation table 20, let (X0, Y0) be thecoordinates of the center of the mobile information terminal 90,attention is focused on only one of the file images 911 to 913, and let(X, Y) be the coordinates of the center of the file image. In addition,let t be the elapsed time since the mobile information terminal 90 isplaced, and display changes every 0.1 seconds.

As illustrated, in the control device 70, the projection controller 72first sets the elapsed time t to 0.1 (step S801). Subsequently, theprojection controller 72 displays a file image with a magnificationfactor of t at the position of the coordinates (tX+(1−t)X0, tY+(1−t)Y0)on the operation stand 20 (step S802).

Subsequently, the projection controller 72 determines whether or not theelapsed time t is smaller than 1 (step S803). When the elapsed time t isdetermined to be smaller than 1, the projection controller 72 adds 0.1to t (step S804), and causes the flow to return to step S802. On theother hand, when the elapsed time t is not determined to be smaller than1, the projection controller 72 causes the processing to return to FIG.16.

[Screen Display Example at Time of Storage Instruction Screen ErasureProcessing of Image Processing Apparatus]

In the exemplary embodiment, when the image processing apparatus 100performs storage instruction screen erasure processing, in response to amotion to move or place the mobile information terminal 90 closer to oron the operation stand 20, the image processing apparatus 100 displays,on the operation stand 20, an operation in which a scanned image ismoved from the operation stand 20 to the mobile information terminal 90.Here, the operation in which a scanned image is moved from the operationstand 20 to the mobile information terminal 90 refers to the operationin which a scanned image is displayed at a time point at a position atwhich the scanned image is not in contact at all with the mobileinformation terminal 90 on the operation stand 20, and at a subsequenttime point, the scanned image is displayed at a position at which atleast part of the scanned image is in contact with the mobileinformation terminal 90 on the operation stand 20. The process ofmovement from a position at which the scanned image is not in contact atall with the mobile information terminal 90 on the operation stand 20 toa position at which at least part of the scanned image is in contactwith the mobile information terminal 90 on the operation stand 20 may bedisplayed or may not be displayed. Alternatively, such an operation maybe displayed when a motion to move the mobile information terminal 90closer to the operation stand 20 is just performed without waiting for amotion to place the mobile information terminal 90 on the operationstand 20. However, a description is given below under the assumptionthat in response to a motion to place the mobile information terminal 90on the operation stand 20, an operation including the process ofmovement is displayed.

FIG. 20-1 is a view illustrating a screen display example displayed inthe storage instruction screen erasure processing in step S750 of FIG.17, and FIG. 20-2 is a view illustrating a screen display example of themobile information terminal 90 at this time point. First, the mobileinformation terminal 90 is placed on the operation stand 20 by a userwith the storage instruction screen 154 of FIG. 13 displayed. In themobile information terminal 90, as illustrated in FIG. 20-2, theapplication displays on the display a list including the names offolders indicating the cloud systems which are set as the respectivestorage destinations of the scanned images 921 to 923, and furtherdisplays a storage button. When a storage button is pressed by a user,as illustrated in FIG. 20-1, the image processing apparatus 100 displayson the operation stand 20 an animation in which the scanned images 921to 923 indicating scan data enter the mobile information terminal 90.Here, the scan data is an example of second data, the name of the folderof a storage destination, is an example of second information thatidentifies the storage location of the second data, and the scannedimage is an example of second image associated with the secondinformation. The animation in which the scanned images 921 to 923 enterthe mobile information terminal 90 is an example of a second operationin which the second image displayed on the display surface is moved fromthe display surface to the mobile information terminal.

At this point, the image processing apparatus 100 has transmitted scandata to the cloud system. In other words, in the exemplary embodiment,the situation that scan data has become a target to be stored isdisplayed by the operation in which a scanned image is moved from theoperation stand 20 to the mobile information terminal 90.

It is assumed above that the scanned images 921 to 923 are graduallyreduced when entering the mobile information terminal 90. Although adescription is given below also under the assumption that the scannedimages 921 to 923 are gradually reduced, the file scanned images 921 to923 do not have to be gradually reduced. For instance, the scannedimages 921 to 923 may be moved with the size maintained of FIG. 13, andmay disappear when moved to the position where the mobile informationterminal 90 has been placed. Although a description is given below underthe assumption that also for reduction of a scanned image, an operationincluding the process of reduction is displayed, the operation may notinclude the process of reduction of a scanned image.

Alternatively, when multiple scanned images are displayed on theoperation stand 20, the image processing apparatus 100 may transmit scandata to respective cloud systems corresponding to the individual scannedimages. In this case, a combined image of scanned images 921 to 923 isan example of the second image, and the scanned images 921 to 923 is anexample of multiple partial images.

In addition, the image processing apparatus 100 is designed to transmitscan data to an external cloud system. In this case, the cloud system isan example of another device different from the image processingapparatus 100 and the mobile information terminal. However, in responseto placing of the mobile information terminal 90 on the operation stand20 by a user with a folder “local” displayed on the display, the imageprocessing apparatus 100 may transmit scan data to the mobileinformation terminal 90.
